Calvin's Thought of the Week:
“The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is practice.”
Wladimir Horowitz
Equality x Equity
Today we discussed that equality and equity seem similar, but they have different meanings.
Equality: equal treatment - the assumption is that everyone benefits from the same supports. While, equity means that everyone gets the supports they need. In education, the term equity refers to the principle of fairness. We agreed that is better to seek equity in our classroom. So, not everyone will get exactly the same, but each one of us will receive the support and what we need to be successful.
Science | Strength and Stability
Today we tested 3 different pillar shapes (triangular, rectangular and cylindrical pillars)
to evaluate the best shape related to the concepts of strength and stability. Ask your child which shape hold more books in his/her experiment!
